I’m a writer and editor living in London, working across books and the arts. I am the Arts Editor at the Observer New Review — before that, I was an editor at the New Statesman for several years, working on the literary and cultural half of the magazine. Elsewhere, I’ve written about books and culture for the New York Review of Books, the New York Times, the Guardian, and lots of other publications. I otherwise spend my precious time on earth solving crossword puzzles, swimming in my local lido and staring lovingly at my dog, Tub.

I am represented by Emma Paterson at Aitken Alexander.
